** In ''[[Recap/SherlockSpecialTheAbominableBride The Abominable Bride]]'', Sherlock tries [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs using drugs to trick out his mind palace]] into recreating an old 19th Century case in order to solve the mystery of [[spoiler:Moriarty's seeming resurrection]], but unfortunately, [[MushroomSamba one cannot manipulate how drugs affect the mind]], resulting in [[AGlitchInTheMatrix Glitches in the Matrix]] that distract Sherlock, not to mention, [[LampshadeHanging as Mycroft points out]], the mind palace is a ''memory'' technique, not a mental [[Franchise/StarTrek holodeck]]. Doesn't stop Sherlock from figuring out the truth: [[spoiler:Moriarty was working with someone else before his death, and that person is playing footage that was recorded ahead of time, to [[RedHerring make it seem like]] Moriarty was BackFromTheDead to throw everyone, the Holmes Bros. especially, off the scent.]].

* ''VideoGame/AlanWakeII'': FBI agent Saga Anderson has a variant she calls the "Mind Place" that she uses for the Bright Falls job. It looks almost identical to the field office that she and Alex Casey have set up at the Elderwood Lodge, and it contains a [[StringTheory theory board]] and filing cabinet for her to mark connections between various clues, a central table with pictures of people she is profiling, a side table with gun magazines that let her upgrade weapons, radio and TV tables where she can review audio and video recording she comes across, and a manuscript table where she can read the scattered pages of Alan Wake's reality-altering books. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that the Mind Place is ''not'' just a representation of a mnemonic technique, but an actual place accessed through {{Telepathy}} that she [[ObliviouslySuperpowered never recognized as such]] until Odin and Tor, her long-lost great uncle and grandfather respectively, manage to manifest in the Mind Place room themselves and communicate with Saga directly.]]

* The concept of alternative graphical shells for PC and PDA operating systems -- among them 1990s shells like Packard Bell Navigator, Microsoft Bob, 3DNA, and Magic Cap -- functioned this way. Basically, rather than forcing less tech-savvy users to navigate their files using the traditionally abstract computer interfaces of the time, these shells would let users sort their files in visual replicas of houses, offices, and other such places with icons based on mundane real world objects. For example, video tutorials on how to use the shell could be found by clicking the television in the living room, telephone contacts could be found by clicking on a literal telephone, games could be found on a shelf in a children's playroom, and so on.
